Intermediate level pilot flying Matrice 4E and Mavic 3 Pro drones. Initial work was some audio/video tasks, but I've graduated towards inspection projects utilizing the zoom function to effectively enhance maintenance and safety programs. As an environmental consultant, and use aerial photography as a value-add on some technical client projects. Mapping software of choice are Pix4D Mapper and DJI Terra. Even though I'm on a steep learning curve with drone missions, I'm an experienced field scientist, well used to on-site operations and project management.
Happy to consider many different types of mission, but in terms of long term skills development the following missions are of the most interest to me:

Commercial and residential property - including pre-development land parcels requiring ground-level imagery
Construction and terrain mapping - progression mapping (non-survey accuracy for now), and 3D modeling
Oil and Gas inspections
Utility inspections (powerlines, wind turbines, solar)
Archeology/cultural resources support
Hazardous materials incident support

Review:

Dave was an outstanding professional. He was timely, communicative, and incredibly organized—every file was clearly labeled and easy to navigate. Not only did he meet all of our requested deliverables, he went above and beyond by providing additional photos, videos, and detailed notes. We truly couldn’t ask for a better pilot. My partner and I were extremely impressed with his work. The only downside of working with Dave is that he set the bar so high—we now have very high expectations for pilots in other states!

David C. was outstanding to work with. We hired him to take drone photos of a vacant property, and he went above and beyond anything we expected. Not only were the photos and videos exceptional, but his attention to detail, professionalism, and willingness to capture additional angles made a huge difference for us. He was punctual, easy to communicate with, and delivered high-quality footage that truly showcased the property. You can tell he takes pride in his work, and it shows in the final product. We would absolutely hire David again and highly recommend him to anyone needing reliable, professional drone photography.

David went above and beyond!! He hit everything we wanted on our shot list, plus some, and organized everything in a logical way. As soon as we approved his bid, he got right to work and got everything back to us in the timeline he stated. We will definitely be using him again!
